Data

Schools are powered by data.

If a day goes by when some data is not spewed forth from somewhere trouble ensues.

Once you've got the data someone has to interpret the data and make it into useful information.

Data can be your salvation or your nemesis.

We live and die by the data.

Data we worship you!

Of course, what we are really talking about are living, breathing, emotion filled young people who don't always conform to their defined targets. This can work for good or bad.

Many conversations I have include hearing, 'but the data says.....'.

Professional judgement comes in there somewhere but data rules!
